It is the art of orienting your mind\, energy\, and actions toward what you are becoming\, while releasing what no longer serves you. \nJoin Katie and Allison for Living The Dream: A 1-Day Bhavana Retreat\, a nourishing in-studio experience designed to help you clear residual patterns from the past year\, clarify what truly matters\, and consciously align with the life you want to live now. This immersive six-hour retreat blends yoga\, meditation\, reflection\, creative integration\, and deep rest to support clarity\, embodiment\, and sustainable change. \nThe afternoon begins with a grounding opening circle and an intentional yoga practice focused on releasing old beliefs\, habits\, and emotional residue.

Hidden love and loyalty towards someone in our family lineage often going back several generations. Through the constellation process\, hidden dynamics are revealed and used as tools to bring balance back into the family system.  \nBy honoring each member’s fate without judgment\, the orders of love are restored\, allowing love and strength to flow\, nourish\, and heal.  \nMuch of Constellation work is about releasing inherited trauma and gaining the support and strength of the ancestors where our lives came from.  As we work through these issues we often experience personal growth and find that energy is released to be able to live our own lives fully\, cleared from the traumas and loyalties of the past. \nThe work is usually done in a group setting where an individual chooses to work on a specific issue in his or her life. Representatives are chosen from the group to represent certain family  members who are then set up intuitively in what is called a “constellation.” The representatives simply remain present to their experiences. As they are placed\, a “knowing field” is formed as the representatives begin to receive actual feelings of the person they are representing. It is not role-playing and there is no acting out. The representatives report their feelings to the facilitator when asked\, or movements are made with the facilitator’s guidance by the representatives from a deep soul experience. \nFrom the information obtained through this process\, family members who may have been lost or excluded in some way in the past are brought into the space.  \nThrough simple yet powerful sentences and soul movements directed by the facilitator\, we move towards resolution\,  becoming more able to enter strongly into own lives and hold our rightful place in our current family. Balance is brought to ourselves\, our work\, and our community. We are freed of burdens not our own\, and are able to step into our future with strength and support from our ancestors. \nThis process was developed by renowned German therapist\, Bert Hellinger. \nOur facilitator\, Helena Gorka has practiced and studied this work for almost 30 years with Hellinger and other teachers. \nThe process itself gives us profound insight and understanding into humanity as well as giving a philosophy of living\, developed by Bert Hellinger. \nTo know more you can go to Helena’s website – HelenaGorka.com \n\n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Workshop Details\n \n \n \n \n \n Pricing:\n\nPersonal Consultation – $160\nGeneral Attendance – $45\n\nDate:\n\nSaturday\, April 4th\n12:00 – 5:00 pm PT\nIn-Studio |  Space Limited\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Click to Register\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Helena Gorka\, E-RYT\n ​Helena began her journey of healing and teaching in London\, England\, by learning yoga at a small store and wellness centre called Gandalf’s Garden in the late 1960’s.

She took her first yoga training not to become a yoga teacher but to better understand the practice. However\, within the first few weeks of the training\, she realized she had found her path and purpose. Over the past twenty years\, Allison has taught more than 15\,000 hours of yoga in group classes\, workshops\, private sessions\, and yoga teacher training.\n \n \nAllison did a 200-hour and 300-hour yoga teacher program through Cloud Nine Yoga.  She also completed over 1\,000 hours of massage training at IPSB and Mesa Academy to become a certified massage therapist.  She taught at many studios in Orange County at the beginning of her career until she found her first yoga home at Soul at Home in Tustin. While at this studio\, she helped co-create 500 hours of yoga teacher training programs with her business partner.   Also\, during this time\, she completed another 200-hour course\, this time in Kundalini Yoga\, because she has a passion for the more subtle tools that yoga offers.\n \n \nIn 2013\, Allison left the comfort of the studio she loved to follow her dreams and open a yoga studio.  She is the co-owner of Be the Change Yoga in Irvine\, CA.  Owning a yoga studio has been both a challenging and exciting experience and has helped her grow in so many ways over this past decade.  Be the Change Yoga is the only yoga studio in Orange County offering yoga therapy training.  Allison signed up to be part of the inaugural group of the AlcheMe yoga therapy program and became a yoga therapist in 2019.\n \n \nAllison is passionate about learning more about women’s health\, and how best to support them during different stages of life.  She has done additional training in yoga for fertility\, and yoga therapy for the endocrine system.  She is forever a student and is currently receiving her Master’s degree in Functional Medicine and Nutrition.  Once she has completed her Master’s degree\, she hopes to develop different yoga therapy programs for balancing hormones\, calming the nervous system\, and mindful eating.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Katie Allen\, MPH\, C-IAYT\, E-RYT 500\n Katie received her Master’s degree in Public Health from Tulane University. She wrote her Master’s thesis on Yoga’s ability to prevent and treat chronic disease and that has been her life’s work ever since! She studied yoga therapy in the lineage of Krishnamacharya with her teachers Ruth (Sraddhasagar) Hartung\, Larry Payne\, Robert Birnberg\, Amy Wheeler\, and the KYM faculty in Chennai\, India. \nShe opened Be The Change Yoga Studio and Natural Health Center in Irvine\, CA in 2013 with her teaching partner Allison Prince. Together they have been leading Yoga Teacher Training Programs since 2010\, Katie loves sharing the life-enhancing wisdom of the Yoga Sutras as way to upgrade every single aspect of life. Katie launched OC’s first and only Yoga Therapist Training in 2016 and is the Founding School Director for AlcheMe Yoga Therapy Training. \nShe is passionate about bringing the empowerment based lifestyle medicine principles out of the yoga studios and into under-served communities\, as well as hospitals and health systems.  She utilizes her background in Public Health to effectively build community-based yoga therapy and health education programs to improve personal and community health\, while training the next generation of integrative health providers. \nShe has been studying Ayurveda for over 10 years with Eleni Tsikrikas and Mas Vidal. She most recently formalized her Ayurveda education with James Bailey at the Sevanti Institute and is currently conducting her clinical internship hours.
